Hi,
I have migrated a few forms form 6i to 10g with the migration assistant.
In some trigger there is a go_item() that in version 6i DOES NOT cause the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM on the current field to fire whereas it DOES fire in Forms 10g.
Example:
Trigger KEY-CREREC:
Code:
go_block('gen_claims');
-- goes to first navigable field in the block, JOB_NO
-- which has a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM and is a database field
go_item('gen_claims.new_percent_complete');
In Forms 6i that go_item() does not cause the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM to on JOB_NO to fire, but in forms 10g it fires causing a number of unpredictable consequences.
Is there a way to have Forms 10g behave like Forms 6i in that regard? (do not fire When-validate-item when navigation is inside a trigger or a procedure)
Thanks.

I wouldn't know (whether it is possible to make 10g behave like 6i).
Why does KEY-CREREC go to a BLOCK first? This:go_item('gen_claims.new_percent_complete');
How does that WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger look like? Do you want to perform validation or not? I suppose that the answer is "yes"; maybe you should fix the code, then? For example: you want to validate the item only if it is not empty, so you'd addif :gen_claims.job_no is not null then
<do the validation>
end if;
Or, alternatively, switch to WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD which is capable of validating items as well, but not at the moment you'd probably want it to.
